3rd POV

Otto: [No.. Kallen. His heart has died along with you.]

After reuniting, Cecilia and Siegfried then head to the medical center.

Cecilia: Ziggy told me what happened! Why did you do that?!

Yap: (smiles weakly) To answer that question, Lady Scharic.. I've decided that I cannot let myself be an obstacle between you and sir Ziggy.

Siegfried: Look, I really appreciate the effort and all but... just why? Why're you doing this?

Yap: It is as I said, sir Ziggy. I may not have seen Lady Scharic much since... our return from that mission.

Cecilia: And so did I. Tell me, Yap. Have you been eating well during these times? Did anyone mistreat you?

Yap only gives a half fake smile to reassure Cecilia.

Yap: (nods) I did, Lady Scharic.

Cecilia: (breaths a sigh of relief) Then that's good to hear.

Siegfried: [That smile of his... He's hiding something, isn't it?]

Yap: [They shouldn't be worrying about me. They should instead just focus on each other.]

Afterwards, the three of them chatted a little more. Mostly about how each other have been doing in these 2 years. Siegfried told them about his training and what he did in order to get to Schicksal, Cecilia, her remedial training and Yap, his missions on taking out pseudo herrschers.

Siegfried: Wait. You said pseudo herrschers, Yap?

Yap: (nods) That's right, sir Ziggy. All 25 of them which I've slain so far had a gem of sorts. Of course, I crushed it, seeing there was no value in it.

Cecilia: (concerned) Herrscher gems..? Isn't that dangerous?

Yap: For normal Valkyries, yes. But thanks to you, Lady Scharic, you allowing me access to maximum level to weapon arsenal and armor workshop makes those missions quite.. doable. Only my first mission was tricky. But the rest after that was nothing much.

Siegfried: Oh yeah. You didn't tell us about that one.

Yap: (softly chuckles) Alright.

Flashback 1992

After passed his remedial test and granted access to Schicksal's arsenal and workshops, Yap created some new weapons and had some armor designed to suit his needs. 

Once his finished weapons and armor arrived have been tested, Yap was told to report as he has a new mission.

Yap: [Of course.]

What awaited Yap was not another simple Honkai Beast horde extermination. But to deal with pseudo Herrschers. 

Otto: Not much Valkyries usually have the chance to do so. Because first, they'll be killed before they know it. Second, since you've experience in dealing with those hordes, this is a good way to test whether if... you're able to survive against them.

Yap: ...And if I do?

Otto: (smirks) I've a special title just for you, Agent Yap. Should you return alive, that is. Rest assured I won't be attempting to shoot down your returning vehicle.

Yap: ... Whatever. Coordinates?

Otto: Straight to the point, aren't we? Well then. The Herrscher's in France at the moment. For now, only a town has been destroyed by said herrscher. It still hasn't been anywhere else just yet, but I would like to very much see how you fare against one.
